Rita is a Legal Executive specialising in family law. Rita has over 20 years experience in this area and joined the Child Law Partnership in July 2008. She advises on all aspects that arise following the breakdown of a relationship, whether clients are married, living together or in a civil partnership.
Rita is a member and accredited specialist with Resolution. Resolution members are committed to easing the pain and the financial costs of family breakdown. All Resolution members follow a code of practice which encourages solutions rather than confrontation, using a conciliatory approach, taking into account the needs of the whole family. Being an accredited specialist with Resolution means that Rita has passed a written test demonstrating a breadth of knowledge of family law issues.
Rita's approach is to focus on a client's situation and specifically what they want to achieve. That enables her to tailor the advice that is right for the client whilst always being conscious of the needs of the whole family and the effect that a breakdown may have upon any children.
Rita is also a Collaborative Lawyer. Collaborative law is an alternative way of resolving family disputes away from the court process. Each person appoints a collaborative lawyer and all negotiations are conducted in a series of four way meetings which are open and frank.
